Impact of pneumothorax on mortality, morbidity, and hospital resource utilization in COVID-19 patients: a propensity matched analysis of nationwide inpatient sample database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Spontaneous pneumothorax (PTX) is more prevalent among COVID-19 patients than other critically ill patients, but studies on this are limited. This study compared clinical characteristics and in-hospital outcomes among COVID-19 patients with concomitant PTX to provide insight into how PTX affects health care utilization and complications, which informs clinical decisions and healthcare resource allocation.

Methods

The 2020 Nationwide Inpatient Sample was used analyze patient demographics and outcomes, including age, race, sex, insurance status, median income, length of hospital stay, mortality rate, hospitalization costs, comorbidities, mechanical ventilation, and vasopressor support. Propensity score matching was employed for additional analysis.

Results

Among 1,572,815 COVID-19 patients, 1.41% had PTX. These patients incurred significantly higher hospitalization costs ($435,508 vs. $96,668, p < 0.001) and longer stays (23.6 days vs. 8.6 days, p < 0.001). In-hospital mortality was substantially elevated for PTX patients (65.8% vs. 14.4%, p < 0.001), with an adjusted odds ratio of 14.3 (95% CI 12.7-16.2). Additionally, these patients were more likely to require vasopressors (16.6% vs. 3.3%), mechanical circulatory support (3.5% vs. 0.3%), hemodialysis (16.6% vs. 5.6%), invasive mechanical ventilation (76.9% vs. 15.1%), non-invasive mechanical ventilation (19.1% vs. 5.8%), tracheostomy (13.3% vs. 1.1%), and chest tube placement (59.8% vs. 0.8%).

Conclusions

Our findings highlight the severe impact of PTX on COVID-19 patients, characterized by higher mortality, more complications, and increased resource utilization. Also, being Hispanic, male, or obese increased the risk of developing concomitant PTX with COVID-19.

Project description:BackgroundTo study the impact of valvular heart disease (VHD) on hip replacement, particularly the clinical impactions of aortic stenosis before total/partial hip arthroplasty.MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort study. Data on patients who had undergone hip replacement from 2005 to 2014 were extracted from the NIS database. Independent t test and chi-square test were used to analyze the essential characteristics of patients. Multivariate regression was used to estimate the correlation among demographics, comorbidities, complications, hospitalization costs, and time.ResultsVHD accounted for 5.56% and AS accounted for 0.03% of the patients before hip replacement surgeries. Patients with VHD before hip replacement are related to the following characteristics: female patients (odds ratio [OR] = 1.15 [1.12-1.18]), elective admission (OR = 0.78 [0.76-0.80]), Charlson Comorbidity Index ≥3 (OR = 1.06 [1.03-1.08]), large-volume hospitals (OR = 1.13 [1.1-1.2]), teaching hospitals (OR = 5 4.4 [2.9-6.7]), and hospital location in urban areas (OR = 1.22 [1.2-1.3]). In addition, VHD is a risk factor for mortality and some acute postoperative medical complications, such as acute cardiac event (OR = 2.96 [2.87-3.04]), acute pulmonary edema (OR = 1.13 [1.06-1.21]), acute cerebrovascular event (OR = 1.22 [1.16-1.74]), and acute renal failure (OR = 1.22 [1.17-1.27]). It also has an impact on DVT/PE (OR = 0.89 [0.8-0.99]). Patients with AS before hip replacement have basic demographic characteristics like those of hip replacement patients with valvular disease. Patients with AS are older than those without AS before surgery (OR = 3.28 [2.27-4.75) and are related to the following characteristics: female patients (OR = 1.92 [1.32-2.8]) and elective admission (OR = 0.51 [0.36-0.75]). The perioperative period is limited to acute postoperative complications, such as acute cardiac events (OR = 2.50 [1.76-3.53]) and acute hepatic failure (OR = 7.69 [1.8-32.89]). Both valvular diseases and AS are associated with a higher mortality rate and hospitalization cost.ConclusionVHD independently predicted mortality rate and surgical and medical complications after total/partial hip arthroplasty.
